										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always thought phone plans were always more expensive than they should be.&nbsp; But unfortunately, we must always pay them if we use a cell phone, and I can’t fathom not using one.</p>
<p>Since I arrived in Germany, I had been looking for a good phone plan.&nbsp; I figure I should just stick with a prepaid phone plan since I can’t imagine myself getting a lot of phone calls.&nbsp; I ended up using one of Vodafone’s prepaid phone plans.&nbsp; The closest phone plan from Fido is their prepaid plan.&nbsp; Below is a comparison (as of January 18, 2011).</p>
<div align="center">
<table width="401" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="121" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="132" valign="top">Fido</td>
<td width="146" valign="top">Vodafone</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="121" valign="top">Cost</td>
<td width="132" valign="top">$10.75</td>
<td width="146" valign="top">€10</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="121" valign="top">Outgoing Calls</td>
<td width="132" valign="top">10 c/min</td>
<td width="146" valign="top">5 c/min (same network)<br />
15 c/min (other networks)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="121" valign="top">Outgoing SMS</td>
<td width="132" valign="top">15 c</td>
<td width="146" valign="top">19 c</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="121" valign="top">Incoming Calls</td>
<td width="150" valign="top">10 c/min</td>
<td width="173" valign="top">FREE (even if it’s an international call)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="121" valign="top">Incoming SMS</td>
<td width="150" valign="top">FREE</td>
<td width="173" valign="top">FREE</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="121" valign="top">Credit Expiry Date</td>
<td width="150" valign="top">1 Month</td>
<td width="173" valign="top">15 Months? (Judging from the fact that I was told my credit would expire in April 2012)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="121" valign="top">Caller ID</td>
<td width="150" valign="top">Included</td>
<td width="173" valign="top">Included</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>It seems that everything is mostly the same in terms of making calls and sending text messages.&nbsp; But the biggest perk in Vodafone’s plan is the fact that receiving international calls is free.&nbsp; That’s the same as Fido’s “unlimited incoming calls feature”.&nbsp; The expiring date is longer too.&nbsp; But as with most better features, they almost always cost more.&nbsp; Here €10 is just about $3 more expensive than Fido’s plan.</p>
